jsx

example button that fetches async data

function Status() {
  const [status, setStatus] = useState('IDLE');
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (status == 'FETCHING') {
      fetch(api_url)
        .then((res) => res.json())
        .then((json) => {
          setData(json);
          setStatus('SUCCESS');
        })
        .catch(() => setStatus('ERROR'));
    }
  }, [state]);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setStatus('FETCH')}>
      {/* standard way to handle conditions expression */}
      {match(status)(
        ['_', () => 'Something went wrong'],
        ['FETCHING', () => '...'],
        ['IDLE', () => 'idle'],
        ['SUCCESS', () => 'Done'],
        ['ERROR', () => 'Something went wrong']
